Canva does not add watermarks to your designs when using free or paid plans. However, free users may see a Canva branding watermark on exported designs if they use premium elements (Pro templates, stock photos, etc.) without a Pro subscription.
How to Avoid Watermarks in Canva
✅ Free Users:
Export designs without watermarks if you
only use free elements.
Remove watermarks by
upgrading to Canva Pro (or purchasing individual premium assets).
✅ Pro Users:
No watermarks on any exports, including premium content.
Common Watermark Scenarios
🔹 Free templates with Pro elements → Watermark appears.
🔹 Free stock photos/graphics → No watermark.
🔹 Custom designs with no Pro assets → No watermark.
How to Remove Canva’s Watermark
1. Upgrade to Canva Pro (unlocks all premium features).
2. Replace Pro elements with free alternatives.
3. Purchase individual assets (one-time payment per element).
